Over the next decade, Charenton-le-Pont is set to undergo a bold transformation through a major urban regeneration project covering approximately 400,000 sqm — nearly 10% of the municipality’s total area. Located at the crossroads between Paris city center and its eastern suburbs, the future Charenton-Bercy district will become a vibrant, connected, and sustainable metropolitan neighborhood.
The redevelopment plan — « le programme de la ZAC » — is designed to foster a dynamic mix of economic activity, housing, and public facilities. With its ambitious scope and human-centered design, the Charenton-Bercy development aims to become “an exemplary metropolitan neighborhood”, blending economic vitality, sustainability, and inclusion.

      Driven by a public-private partnership, the project will combine business hubs, housing, public amenities, and green spaces in a carefully balanced mix. The scale of the operation is significant:​ 400,000 sqm of planned development​; 160,000+ sqm of Housing and residence​; 180,000+ sqm dedicated to offices and economic activity; 75,000 sqm for retail, restaurants, and hotels​; 1,500 homes, including student, senior, and worker residences​, and 7,000 sqm for new schools, childcare services, and social infrastructure​

​This urban transformation reflects a broader ambition: to make Charenton-Bercy a new gateway to Paris — dynamic, sustainable, and open to the future.

      ​As part of the consultancy team, Systematica was entrusted with shaping the district’s mobility strategy, tailored to the site’s specific challenges and urban context. Our approach focused on unlocking the area's potential by reimagining connections, promoting soft mobility, and enhancing accessibility at all scales.​
​A core component of the consultancy was the implementation of an integrated micro-simulation model, allowing a dynamic analysis of all transport modes operating simultaneously within the site — including private vehicles, logistics flows, soft mobility, and public transport systems. This provided a robust basis for evaluating multimodal interactions and informing mobility-related design decisions.
